Duyuru: Sosyal Girişimcilik

Kadir Has Üniversitesi- Yaşam Boyu Eğitim Merkezi, Türkiye’de İlk Defa Sosyal Girişimcilik Akademisi’ni başlatıyor Bugünün iktisadi koşullarına alternatif bir dünyanın mümkün olduğuna inananlar, tarih boyunca var olan “sosyal girişimciliğin” hem bireysel hem de toplumsal fayda sağlayabileceğini biliyorlar. Bu nedenle dünyada 1970 lerin ortalarından itibaren daha çok yenilikçi ve yaratıcı çözüm arayışları başlatılmıştır. Dünya’da özellikle son on yıldır kâr amacı gütmeyen kuruluşların ve akademik çalışmaların sayısı artmıştır. Türkiye’de ise sosyal girişimcilik ile ilgili farkındalık çalışmaları, 2000 yılından itibaren başlamıştır. Dünya çapındaki üniversitelerinden Harvard, Oxford, Yale gibi önde gelenlerinde sosyal girişimcilik enstitüleri- bölümleri- dersleri kurulmuştur ve bu gün Dünyanın dört bir tarafında yüzlerce üniversitede sosyal girişimcilik dersi okutulmaktadır. Türkiye’de ise ilk defa Kadir Has Üniversitesi ile British Council  işbirliği yaparak Sosyal Girişimcilik Akademisi için 2010 yılında İngiltere’den gelen Freer Spreckley ile ön eğitimlere başlandı. Bu sertifika programının ilki olan bu dönemde alanında çok deneyimli bir ekip ile, uygulamalı olarak 42 saat sürecek bir “sosyal girişimcilik” eğitimi gerçekleştirilecektir. Başvuru ve eğitimle ilgili detaylara buradan ulaşabilirsiniz.

BBC’s Volatile History of Chemistry

by Maria Popova

How the elements came to be, or what alchemy and urine have to do with the God particle.

Chemistry is the science of matter, of everything we touch and, existential philosophy aside, of everything we are. And even though we brush up against it with every molecule of our bodies in every instant of our lives, most of us haven’t dedicated formal thought to it since high school. Now, thanks to the fine folks at BBC Four — who previously pondered such captivating issues as the nature of reality,the age-old tension between science and religion, how music works, and what time really is — you can refresh and enrich your understanding of this complex world withChemistry: A Volatile History, a fascinating three-part series by theoretical physicist Jim Al-Khalili, exploring everything from the history of the elements to the rivalries and controversies that bedeviled scientific progress to the latest bleeding-edge attempts to split matter.
